Since he has been stable since his 2015 stroke, routine brain or heart scans are generally not necessary unless he develops new symptoms like sudden weakness, numbness, or speech changes. His current checkups, focusing on physical exams, blood pressure, and routine blood tests, are highly effective for managing his risk. Please continue his prescribed medications, STROCIT PLUS and DEPLATT-CV (which contains clopidogrel, aspirin, and atorvastatin), as they are vital for preventing another stroke. Always discuss any changes in his health with his doctor to see if imaging is ever needed.
